The United States has struggled to define its approach to what has
been called the "information battlefield" since the information era
began. Yet with the outbreak of the war on terror, the United
States has been violently challenged to take a position and react
to the militants' use of emerging information technology.
Ideological demigods operating against the United States now have
unprecedented channels by which to disseminate their message to
those targets who are uncertain, sympathetic, or actively
supportive of their philosophy. From the caves of southeastern
Afghanistan to the streets of Baghdad, "the message" has dominated
the thinking of those who perpetrate horrific acts of violence,
whether in the name of ideology, ethnic and sectarian partisanship,
or religion.This anthology is divided into four sections:
geopolitical, strategic, operational, and tactical. The
geopolitical perspective covers world politics, diplomacy, and the
elements of national power, excluding military force. The strategic
view examines where the violence has begun and the military element
of power. The operational perspective handles the campaigns to
accomplish a specific purpose on the world stage-for example, as in
the Iraq campaign. The tactical level takes the individual's role
into account. Because the nexus of information conflict is most
easily seen in the world's contemporary violent confrontations,
this anthology reflects the experience and lessons learned by
military personnel who have managed these difficult issues. With a
foreword by Brigadier General H. R. McMaster, U.S. Army, the author
of "Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam."
